Cardio & strength combined

Hybrid Athlete Experiment- Cardio and Strength combined for maximal results

Can you chase marathon mileage and set PRs in the squat rack without imploding? I spent 30 days juggling three runs, three heavy-lift sessions, and one precious rest day—while a lab coat kept score. The payoff: VO₂ max up 8 %, one-rep maxes up across the board, body-fat down a notch, ego up a lot. Hybrid training isn’t witchcraft; it’s smart programming, aggressive recovery, and the occasional morale donut.
